Lesotho has undergone significant industrial expansion in the past several years, with numerous international textile 
and garment firms having successfully established their manufacturing concerns in the country. Further development in this sector has been prioritized due to its ability to create sustainable employment opportunities, thereby contributing substantially to poverty alleviation.
The industry resumed its upward growth trend during 2006, supported by the country’s sound economic fundamentals and a number of proactive steps taken by government to support the sector as well as to diversify products and export markets. An essential element in future economic development is the expansion of the private sector, which has the capacity to stimulate economic growth and rapidly increase employment opportunities.
